Apple kicks off event; $1000 iPhone is expected

Jeanne Townsend

It suggests a future of completely cloud-based personal computing, where no matter what device you're using-TV, laptop, smartwatch, tablet, iphone-you can always pick something up right where you left off. There's no more Touch ID for unlocking either. Facial recognition is much less accurate than fingerprint recognition, which is in turn much less accurate than a passcode.

The iPhone X uses an advanced array of sensors and software to recognize its owner's face. Works with ear pods and Apple Music. There's a 1 in a 1,000,000 chance that a random person would be able to unlock your iPhone X through Face ID.

In its latest earnings call, Apple CEO Tim Cook called AR "big and profound" while referencing all the developer excitement in building ARKit experiences.

Apple is expected to launch "a high-end gadget called the iPhone Edition or perhaps the iPhone X at its new "spaceship" headquarters", according to Sun UK.

No one will sleep with you because you have one of these phones, but some might not sleep with you because you don't.

If you're not interested in sitting through a marketing presentation, and let's not kid ourselves that this isn't one, then you can just keep an eye on the multiple liveblogs running for the event today.

The successors to iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus run on the new A11 Bionic chip that the company says has two performance cores (25 percent than last year's A10), and four high-efficiency cores (70 percent faster than A10).

IHS Markit said India is an interesting market, and one where Apple is looking to grow, in part through domestic production. The result - clearer images, even when zooming in low light.

For the first time on an iPhone, Portrait Mode is enabled on the 7MP front-facing camera as well. Number two: wireless charging. It also includes the new W2 wireless chip. We break down why its new watches pose a threat to Fitbit, which announced its new upcoming Ionic watch last month.

The iPhone X will not be cheap. Both models come in 64GB and 256GB versions, with the iPhone 8 starting at $699 and the iPhone Plus at $799. Here's a photo. The only thing I was really wrong about is that the iPhone X doesn't go on pre-sale until October 27. The iPhone X will be made available only days later, on November 3. "When it became clear enough that smartphones would become competitors to the iPod, it added some pressure and forced his hand a bit".
